Well my sons and I are going through all our gear and heading out for a shopping trip to replace anything missing.
OWe are off to camp for a week. Real camping in a tent, not hog-the-highway in a fossil fuel sucking RV to stay in a manicured park. Nope. We are real men off to tame the wilderness!! Look out gandpa and grandma but your motor home is in our way!

My oldest boy has been studying the S.A.S.Survival manual in my book collection and is itching to try out his new found knowledge. Lets see if he is made of the right stuff!

Lets see
> tent- check
>sleeping bags- check
>cots (hey we are rugged but we still love a good sleep!)-check
>cooler full of food and beer-check
>bottle of scotch....bottle of scotch...(off to buy one)
> cigars-check
> ax and saw-check
> machete-check
> fishing rods-check
>lanterns-check
>cookstove and fuel-check
> bug stuff- check
> clothes- well duh
> mountain bikes-check
> Aussie bush hat-check
>rain gear-check
>knives and hatchet-double check
> rope-check
> fist aid kit- oh yeah

Looks like we have it all. Look out Yogi, you are about to have new neighbours!!!
